Yay! Now if only I wasn't out of rep... ;.; You should also have a dresteriod sample probe, launched on a rocket with a single booster!

A single booster!?!? Are you out of your mind!?!? NOTHING works without MOAR BOOSTERS!

Teaser lines from next story update:

"Ooh, shiny! Can we eat that floating ice cream?"

"That's Minmus, Jeb. And we need to make sure we're on course for the gravity assist we'll get by flying past it."

"Oh."

What if you tweakscaled it to be 20 Kilometers tall? That is the one exception to the MOAR BOOSTERS rule. The rule should be MOAR BOOSTERS AND BIGGER BOOSTERS!!! 

BOOSTERS!!! 

what if Jeb eats the ice cream? Jeb would go Eva to go eat some! I know because he keeps doing it...

Jeb: I'm not here. Or on Minmus.

A new update! Come see, @max_creative! Your ship has really come together!

New Update!

Now... TO DRES!!! I want one of those! That is my favorite Dres ship ever! Mostly because it's named after me! WHY DO I KEEP USING UP MY REP?!? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?

Good. :D I am an SSTO addict. I'm a little impatient. :3 Sorry!

Your an SSTO addict? You should change your name to SSTOAddict! Except that sounds similar to @SpaceplaneAddict, and there's already a SpaceplaneAddict. Oh well. There's a lot of SSTO/Spaceplane addicts.

Yup and I'm one of them. You know I tried to think of putting that a different way but I couldn't think of one so I just gave up and said SSTO addict.

New Update!

Awesome SSTO! I would like to build a Mk3 Dres SSTO but Mk3 Spaceplanes never go well for me because of all the bugs associated with wheels. (Especially the big ones!)

-Story - Part 6-

"Trans-Dres injection maneuver node is plotted. Node in T Minus 2 minutes."

"Copy that, Bob. Standing by for ignition."

"Okay... All systems go... JEB! WHERE IS THE IGNITION BUTTON!"

"I thought it said MOAR BOOSTER IGNITION, so I proposed..."

"Just please give it to me."

"Okay."

"3...2...1...Ignition!"

--After the burn--

"Thank goodness we used Physics Warp!"

"Okay, we are on the way to Dres! Only 250 days to go!"

"925 million bottles of bubblyzine on the wall... 925 million bottles of bubblyzine... Take one down, pass it around..."

"MechJeb... Shut up. Now."

you forgot the hydrazine in the monopropellant tanks, and the water made from LF+O! Tell me when it arrives at Dres!!! You have the annoying MechJeb. I feel bad for you. I only have the regular Jeb, and- 

Jeb: 854275486332975395397642866301 boosters on the rocket... 854275486332975395397642866301 boosters... Add one thousand MOAR, launch it again... 

Ok... They're about the same...

And of course, when MechJeb shut up, Jeb belted out: "924 million, 999 thousand, 999 bottles of bubblyzine on the wall!"

It's gonna be a LONG 250 days to Dres with these two...

Welp, in one of my career saves, I got a contract to "rescue Halfred Kerman from orbit of Dres." Note: This contract actually appeared when I had just reached orbit for the first time in that save, which shows you how ridiculous the contract system can be sometime. Anyway, I transferred his pod over to the main Sandbox save for the max_creative to rescue. But then I remembered that it only has enough life support for 4 crew... So, I launched a HUGE 10 meter wide rocket. On top, a DeepFreeze cryosleep pod. The rocket is huge so it can get there fast enough, before his life support runs out. Once he is frozen, the pod will hitchhike home on the max_creative.

Engineersmate Bill Kerman's Log: Kerbdate 3022.503 

It's been 50 days since we left Kerbin. All systems are nominal and the Wi-Fi is still at 5 bars. Crew on board: Kaptin KAL 9000, Kernel Jeb Kerman, Engineersmate Bill Kerman, Sciencemate Bob Kerman, Komder Val Kerman, Shipboard AI MechJeb.

Jeb and MechJeb have come up with a new song:

"We're off to see the Dresard, the wonderful Dresard of Dres..."

If they don't stop this, I will make MechJeb divide by 0 and throw Jeb out the airlock without a suit.

--Bill Kerman, signing off--

Don't make mechjeb divide by zero. Last time Bob did that to Gerty was really bad... We just got error message after error message for a month!

Tell Mechjeb to 

  1. un-divide by zero 
  2. stop singing 
  3. stop playing the HSP v1.2 prerelease. 

If that fails, hold down the home button and the power button to give it a hard reset. Or just request a rescue mission.

Dres orbital insertion complete! The permanent surface modules will land before the landers (which will return to the ship later). Final system checks underway for the first surface module to be released and land: the ISRU unit.

-Story - Part 7-

Bob floated into the main computer room, grabbing a handrail as he entered.

"MechJeb, do you have the ISRU unit landing coordinates and kOS script?"

"Yep, Bill programmed it and the geeks back at KSC can't find anything wrong."

"Ok, hang on."

Bob opened a drawer labeled FLOPPY DISKS and picked out a random one, which happened to be green. He went to MechJeb's access ports.

"MechJeb, anything important on the floppy disk in the port?"

"Nothing I can't temporarily run on my own memory."

"Ok, I just need to take it out for a sec."

Bob pressed the button on the floppy port marked OPEN/EJECT, and the humming of electronics got a little bit quieter as the floppy disk's cooling fans turned off. A few seconds later, the floppy slid out of the slot and floated in the room. Bob slid in the new disk and pressed READ. The hum returned to normal.

"MechJeb, copy the script and coordinates into the new floppy."

After the stuff had been copied, Bob ejected the new disk and replaced the old. He floated into the ISRU unit's tiny temporary control room, located in the disposable skycrane. After copying the contents of the disk, he brought it back to MechJeb, who cleared the disk's memory. He put back the now-empty disk into the floppy drawer, floating out of the computer room back to the few quarters.

--Note: The "floppy disks" are actually advanced quantum information storage devices, but they were made to look the same as the floppy disks currently being used on Kerbin when they were first made, to avoid confusion. The name and appearance stuck--
